  1. We used Essex Man With A Van for a commercial removal at very short notice from Laindon to Sussex return. Excellent service, professional, polite, good value for money, highly recommended.

  2. Great service good comms at short notice , would recommend very helpful – good all round service 🙂

  3. Pete was exceptionally helpful, and was able to collect and deliver our Ebay items with only 24 hours’ notice. I cannot recommend his service highly enough; polite, efficient and good value for money. If you live in Essex or Kent, and you need something collecting or moving, look no further than Pete!

  4. We used Pete for the collection of our goods which were in store at Peterborough, he then collected other items in Corringham and then delivered to Holland on Sea. We could not praise his price and service enough, we took a chance on finding his site on the internet and we will tell anyone who needs the safe care of transportation of their goods of his great service. Thanks again Pete.

  5. Pete couldn’t have been more helpful. He picked up our eBay item and delivered it to our house when he said he would. His price was also very reasonable. We will defiantly be using Essex man with a van again!

  6. Great service (and at a minute’s notice of my sudden change of plan). Honest, trustworthy, reliable. Very reasonable price, and did not charge extra when I added items at the last minute. Would definitely use again, and have recommended him to friends. Very pleased. Thank you.

  7. What a STAR!! If only everything else with moving had gone as smoothly as moving home (like getting back online, hence the delay in feedback!!) – My Son and myself moved our home (a top floor flat) of 16 years to another flat (also top floor) nearby – I had underestimated how much stuff we had and realised quite last minute that we needed ‘a man with a van’ – I had a ‘team’ ranging in age from 3 teenager to a 50 & 75 year old who ALL agreed Pete was ‘awsome’ – he was punctual, efficient, patient (even when I changed my mind about where I wanted a unit!) – very calm and pleasant. He was helpful before and during the move and it was a very fair price – which was also helped by the fact I already had some help (the three teenage boys were worn out way before Pete & the older guys!) – I expected the move to be quite stressful but in the event it was a really great day!! I would (and have been – by word of mouth!) thoroughly reccomend him without hesitation!! Thanks Pete – we don’t plan on moving again just yet but if we do – or anything else – I will definately be back to you! x

  8. I used Essex Man with a Van (Pete) to collect and deliver a garden shed for me which I had to have removed from a worksite. It was at very short notice and Pete made ever effort in being able to assist me in getting it moved the same day. I found the service Pete’s offering to be very professional and reasonably priced – I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and am really happy to recommend him to others.

  9. Pete is a real gem of a find. He helped me move some chairs and a big chest from Essex to London. He was reliable, charming, and so fantastically helpful. Definitely recommend him and I will use him again. Jennifer

  10. Pete moved all my house contents into storage. Hopefully it won’t be too long before he is moving them into the new house! Excellent and friendly service, fully recommended.

  11. Pete collected a sofa for me which I’d bought on Ebay. The service was speedy and he’s a really nice bloke. What’s more, it actually cost less than hiring a van and doing it myself!

  12. Pete helped us move to our new flat on the weekend, very good and efficient service, we got everything moved in 2 trips and I would be happy to recomend Pete to anyone.

  13. Hi Pete, thanks for all your help with moving our sofas and mattress. You were a brilliant help, we wouldn’t have been able to do it without you! I will definitely recommend you in the future and we will be in touch next time we move. If you need any help with your holiday plans please give me a call, my website is http://www.boutixury.com, I only have a small section on the site.. I can arrange lots of other things so please give me a shout some time. Thanks again Jenny & Johnny

  14. Pete moved my belongings from my flat into a house. Great friendly service. Will definitely use again and highly recommended!

  15. I would wish to compliment Pete and his helper on the day of my move. Confronted with numerous problems (an oversize american fridge/freezer for 1) they dealt with it all with hard work and humour. Indeed, when my storage facility was closed before the last transfer, Pete even agreed to meet me there the following morning at 7.30 to complete my move. Oh, and the price was very reasonable as well!

  16. very professional- phoned the nite before the move to confirm everything!
    The move was heavy work- but carried out without complaint and no damages.
    We were both completely nackered- but job done.

  17. We used Pete for the removal of a very heavy Technics Organ . We found him to be extremely profesional in every way, not only friendly & on time, nothing was too much trouble. We will deffinitely use Pete again,should we need his services and also be more than happy to recommend to others.

  18. Pete moved all of my furniture from Chelmsford to Braintree at the end of November. He provided a fantastic service and made the whole process stress free and easy! As I had a lot of heavy furniture to shift, I paid a little extra for another man and they were both efficient and very quick in getting everything moved. I could not have wished for a better service and will be using Pete again at the beginning of January. Highly recommended.

  19. Pete was fantastic, very reliable he moved a bed from Brentwood to Chelmsford for me and i could not have asked for a better service.

    Thanks Pete. You are a star 5*

  20. Pete – thank you so much for your help last week. After speaking to you on the phone I didn’t even bother getting any other quotes because I could tell you were professional and reasonably priced – and I was right. Excellent communication prior to the job and an excellent service on the day! You took the stress out of a potentially very difficult day for me! Thanks so much and we’ll definitely use you again. Georgina

  21. Pete picked up a three piece suite for me from Westcliff and delivered to Chelmsford, right to my rented storage space. He gave an extremely professional and very fast service, was extremely reasonably priced and I will definitely use him again. Highly recommended!

  22. Pete helped me move at short notice, very helpful and professional and price was extremely reasonable, will use again 🙂

  23. Pete was recommended to me by a work colleague to help take 56 very heavy boxes of files into storage. I would definitely recommend Pete for his professional and friendly attitude. He was hard working, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonable prices too. An excellent service. Thanks Pete.

  24. I recently changed job and re-located from Essex to Suffolk. The ONLY thing that went without a hitch was the removal. Pete was brilliant, providing a quick, efficient and friendly service. His professionalism meant that I had a hassle free experience with no breakages and no damage…not even a scratch! Cheers Pete, keep up the great work. Stuart R.

  25. I had to move from Colchester to my new flat in London. Pete was extremely friendly and helpful. Quick responses to emails. Arrangements were made so effortlessly. I couldn’t have imagined any better service for the job!! Highly recommended!

  26. We used Pete to move various pieces of furniture and boxes from Essex onto 2 different addresses in London with drop offs and collections.
    Pete was excellent punctual and super professional and made what I thought would be a difficult job very easy.
    A company I would work with again and again.
    Totally recommended!

  27. Pete moved me from Hampstead Heath to Colchester and he was great. He offered the best quote and even moved me on a Sunday. He lifted the heavy boxes at both ends of the move and was great company on the journey north. I would highly recommend him!

  28. I needed a large sofa picked up in Essex and delivered to London the next day – very short notice. Pete went out of his way to do this job in the evening as he already had 2 other jobs booked. He arrived on time and gave a great price and service. Thank You

  29. Great stuff, other quotes were extortionate and Pete was helpful, easy going and an expert at getting your stuff to fit in a van. Turned up on the dot and helped turn a stressful day into less of an ordeal.
    Would recommend without hesitation (move was the other side of London)

  30. Pete Wade,[aka Essex Man With a Van] is definitely the man to rely on if you have anything that needs picking up and delivering, either locally or across the Country. I needed an item picking up from the south east and he delivered it to me without any problems, here in North Manchester; Friendly, reasonable , professional and really obliging, I would happily avail myself of his delivery service again, for my business. Needless to say I highly recommend him!
    Thanks again Pete!!

  31. I had arranged for an Ebay purchase of conservatory furniture to be collected and delivered using another company. The van driver hadn’t looked at the photographs and dimensions properly and couldn’t fit the furniture in the van. I had to find someone to do the job quickly and Pete did it very well. The furniture arrived and Pete even helped us to get it inside. I would recommend Pete to anyone who wants a pleasant professional service and someone who goes that extra mile. I will be using Pete’s service for any removals in the future.

  32. Pete offers a great service. He was very efficient and did a great job all round, making my move much easier. Much appreciated.

  33. I asked Pete to help me move from London to Colchester in early August 2011. His professionalism was second to none. He arrived on time, loaded the van and drove everything, incuding myself, to Colchester. He made a wonderful experience out of a slightfully stressful situation. Moving homes is never easy, but his calming demeanour, reliability and chatty character were very helpful and utterly exceptional on the day. I was extremely happy with his services. He is a great bloke and I wish him nothing but the best for him and his company, which I am sure will go from strength to strength. Thank you.

  34. Purchased a really large and heavy sofa, found Pete on internet, to collect for me, could not beleive how cheap he was for a 40 mile round trip! Problem was, i hadn’t measured before buying! turned out 2″ wider than the height of my door, and hardly any room to tilt. Thankfully, he did not leave me in the lurch!, he sorted it out, left to me, i think i would have had to leave it in the shed and re-sell, great bloke, friendly, down to earth and could not have been more helpful, and i will not be using anyone else, if you need something shifted, look no further, you will not be dissapointed, 100% recommended to all, cheers Pete, i will be passing your info on, whenever anyone wants help, and i will certainly be in touch the next time i purchase, A+++++

  37. Great friendly pleasant service. Helped clear a flat. Listened to all I wanted and did it. No hidden costs. Definitely recommend

  38. Pete helped our daughter move house and was extremely efficient, courteous, helpful AND prompt in responding to our request for quote (which was very competitive). Strongly recommend.

  39. I called Pete after getting some outrageous quotes from other people. He helped me move some conservatory furniture I bought on Gumtree. Pete was very helpful, polite and reasonable in price. Now I have his number I will definitely be using him again and recommending him to others.

  40. Pete and his colleague helped me move into my new flat this weekend. They were extremely hardworking, professional and polite. I would 100% recommend Pete and will definitely use him again for any future moves. Many thanks!

  41. I called Pete at the last minute as I needed help to collect a sofa.

    Pete arrived on time and couldn’t have been more helpful or polite. I wish all people were as nice.

    I will definitely be using Pete’s services again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!

  42. I arranged with Pete to pick up a Table and chairs I brought from e-bay, he liased with the seller on my behalf to arrange a time and day when they would be in and delivered to me on time and a good price. Would use him again. thank you Pete.

  43. Hi all,
    Used Pete and his mate to move our furniture office to 2 new locations about 15 miles apart. Even though Pete thought he could do it in 2 runs he had to do an extra run which he just agreed to on the spot without a second thought. Would definitely use him again or recommend him to my clients or friends.

  44. I’ve moved a lot in my life and this was the first time i started unpacking and found NOTHING broken.
    Pete was fast and friendly and the price was absolutely fantastic.
    Here’s hoping i never move again, but if I do…i’ll phone Pete.
    thanks a lot.
    Lynette

  45. Pete took a van load of my stuff from Chelmsford to East London and then carried it up sixty steps! It can’t have been easy! Good rate and great service.

  46. When my car broke down I was worried that I would not be able to pick up an e-bay purchase (the worry of negative feedback!). I found Pete’s website and he saved my e-bay life. A nice and trustworthy guy!

  47. Phoned Pete on 23rd December for a collection. He managed to fit me in for next day collection and delivery to London. If Pete had not done this so quickly, I would have missed out on a great bargain. Will definately use again.

    Many Thanks and Happy New year
